Answer:

It will take 9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion to solve this problem.  Put the distance over the time

2/3 meter    6 meters

------------- = ----------------

1 minute        x minutes

Using cross products

2/3x = 6

Multiply each side by 3/2

3/2 * 2/3x = 6 * 3/2

x = 9

It will take 9 minutes
